Re: Question on FreeBSD name resolution
chris wrote: I just installed 5.1 and have been playing around with it, but I am troubled by an issue with my network configuration. I apologize if this is the wrong list, it seemed to be the most appropriate. I want to at least get the machine working so then I can start working through learning the ins and outs. My FreeBSD box is running on a Dell laptop on my home network where I have three other Windows based machines. All of my machines are configured to use another NT-Based firewall as both the default gateway and DNS server, which is connected out to the Internet via cable. Im using the default network settings that were configured when I installed the system. The network card is configured to use DHCP and when I do an ifconfig I see the Ethernet card has an appropriately assigned IP address netmask.If I ping a website by its DNS name, the name resolves quickly and I get ping responses back pretty quickly (as I would expect). When I use FTP, Telnet, or WWW to try to connect to an address by FQDN, it takes a few minutes to establish the connection. However when I use the associated IP address instead of the FQDN it connects instantly. It seems like the TCP (or at least FTP, WWW Telnet) programs are having an issue with resolving the name. My guess is that they are timing out through trying to resolve via one means, and therefore then try a DNS resolve. Is there a way to determine the order in which the system currently does name resolution? I looked for the host.conf file in my /etc folder and there was one, but even when I added one in it didnt help. Hello, You should be looking in your #/etc/resolv.conf .

Software RAID-1 - root filesystem confusion

The Handbook is your friend: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-root.html snip In fact, unless your hardware requires you to run 5.x, I'd strongly recommend that you stick with 4.8-RELEASE (or 4.9-RELEASE due out in the next few weeks). Thanks. I read that handbook chapter, together with http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/vinum/index.html and lots of other stuff, and I think my head is about to explode :) Since this isn't really a production server I'm afraid I ignored your advice and went for 5.1. I partitioned the disks much as described in the 'Bootstrapping Vinum' article. I've just about got my head around how the setup described there works, but it seems there are better ways of doing things on 5.1. Trouble is, I can't work out what they are, or how to get from where I am to there. It seems I need to create a vinum volume for my root filesystem. I can't (I think) just create a volume overlapping the existing root filesystem because it is at the beginning of the disk. Without allowing for Vinum's headers my MBR is likely to get trashed. Compared to the example in the handbook life is slightly complicated by the fact that I have swap partitions second on both disks, so I'm guessing I need two vinum partitions per disk, one overlapping everything before the swap, and one overlapping everything after. So, can I copy my root filesystem to somewhere else, create a vinum volume for root somewhere near the beginning of the disk but allowing for the requisite 265 blocks at the beginning and then copy the root filesystem back to this? I'm presuming some of this may need to be done from a fixit media. Or should I just start again with a different arrangements of partitions? I've done nothing but install vanilla 5.1 so far, so this is not a major problem. Except that the machine boots fine off a CD, but then refuses to see the CD as installation media so I had to install over FTP - not the fastest way of doing things :( Thanks for any help -- Chris Hastie ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problem with PCMCIA Services 5.1-STABLE
Hi, I recently picked up a used Sony Vaio PCG-FX390 laptop. It had Windows XP on it so I decided to install FreeBSD 5.1-STABLE. Long Story short, the install went great except the PCMCIA bridge seems to be misconfigured. I've googled for two days trying to find the answer but have not come up with anything that works. If I try and insert/remove a card the system locks up and I'm forced to hard-power the box. If I boot with card(s) inserted, I get Unsupported Card type detected although I'm using card(s) that are supported and work under RH Linux 9 and Windows. I even went back to GENERIC before sending this to get the box baseline. _any_ pointers would be appreciated. --Tim /etc/defaults/pccard.conf io 0x240-0x360 irq 10 11 15 memory 0xd4000 96k debuglevel 4 dmesg output: rebooting...

Yahoo has officially updated messenger such that you can no longer connect

You can try the attached patch with the port. This will ensure
dependencies on packages that actually exist. I had a problem
connecting though, receiving this error after entering my
login/password:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/libexec/ymessenger/ymessenger.bin:
Undefined symbol Xu4L
Glancing at the binary, it's almost as if the symbol table is mangled...
I think this might call for a future linux-ymessenger port.
While I know the maintainer of the messenger port will have dealt with
this issue before he commits the update, but why would Yahoo have released
a new version today against depandants that are almost 6 months old?
My guess is that they haven't actually updated the client; they simply
did whatever magic was necessary to let the newer official versions
connect and left the rest of the build (including usage of GTK+-1.x)
alone.
People who are upset that the YMessenger package for FreeBSD isn't being
maintained should complain on the message board:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ymessenger/
This is especially important now that it seems Yahoo! has discontinued
support for third-party clients. There doesn't seem to be any other
contact information for the Unix messengers.

How would I go about this? Should I make deinstall the currently installed Qt version and then make WITHOUT_OPENGL=yes install the whole thing? (and then update the rest of the software with portupgrade -ra) This seems a bit awkward, especially in regard to future versions. Is there a better way?

Re: Re:Re: Cat a directory
However, the purpose of cat is to write the contents of a file to STDOUT. And yes, in UNIX pretty much everything is considered a file. But that does not change the fact that people do not experience a directory as a file, and in their use of language also clearly differentiate between the two. You too. Besides, for the regular use of writing the contents of a directory to STDOUT, ls was created. Using cat /bin is a poor example, because everybody KNOWS /bin is a directory. But how about using a more realistic example? Say, cat /usr/libexec/sendmail? That happens to be a directory, but could easily be mistaken for a regular file (when found in a find output, for instance). And then a lot of crap scrolls through your terminal, which is potentially DANGEROUS. Just because you cannot fathom a legitimate situation in which a cat on a directory was unexpected and unintentional, does not mean that situation never occurs. I would like to see a switch added to cat, like -d, which specifically allows it to operate on directories too, for that once-in-a-million chance I actually need a hex dump on the directory as file. In fact, that behavior is already incorporated in the rm command: Again, rm is something very different. You just don't get it do you?! If you want a special flag to make cat treat directories specially, then go ahead and write it and submit it. BUT DO NOT CHANGE THE DEFAULT BEHAVIOR OF CAT OR YOUR MODIFICATION WILL BE REJECTED BECAUSE IT WOULD BREAK THOUSANDS OF SCRIPTS AND BE FOOLISH AND UNNECESSARY Now, either contribute something or be done with it. jerry The options are as follows: -d Attempt to remove directories as well as other types of files. So, in like fashion for cat: -d Attempt to write the raw contents of a directory too. - Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

NFS problem..
Hello.. I'm running FreeBSD 5.1 on a computer configured as an nfs-client and freebsd4.8 on a computer configured as an nfs-server. When I try to move something from the client to a partition on the server mounted on the client in fstab using mv the client crashes. The server should be working fine since there is no problem when using mv from a FreeBSD4.8 client to the server. I can without any problem access the files on the nfs server, it's just when using mv that the client crashes. Here are some configurations on the client... This line is used in fstab: 192.168.0.1:/usr/server nfs rw 0 0 These options are compiled into the kernel. options NFSCLIENT #Network Filesystem Client options NFS_ROOT#NFS usable as root device, Any help appreciated //stefan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cvsup - down?
Hey all. This seems like a really dumb question to me, but I'm having such a rough last two weeks that I'd rather be sure by sounding stupid, than by looking stupid. What I'm doing is upgrading a machine to RELEASE_5_1 (to take care of the recent arp problems) and I wasn't paying attention when I started cvsupping, and accidentally started it cvsupping to HEAD instead. I realized my mistake halfway through and canceled it. Then restarted it with the proper tag=RELENG_5_1 Now, I'm looking at all the files that were checked out during the cvsup to RELENG_5_1 and I'm a bit nervious. I assume it's doing checkouts because it's easier than doing reverse diffs? (or reverse diffs aren't even possible?) While screwing this machine up wouldn't ruin my life, it would add considerable time to what it would take to get it to where I wanted it (which I can't really afford right now) So, my question is: Can anyone say with confidence that this machine will build a sane world/kernel for RELENG_5_1 after what I did? If not, I'll just wipe out /usr/src and install a fresh source and re-cvsup. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Speaking for myself, since I have people hosting on my server and what not, I'm sticking with 4.8 until it's passed EOL and patch as necessary then evaluate if the latest RELEASE offers any substantial improvements, if so, then I'll CVSup to the next RELEASE in the same branch I'm in (4.8 4.9). The BETA is just that, and following -stable has revealed that while it's getting close to RELEASE, there's still some bugs. It's depends on what you want. If you want stability, install the 4.8 ISO and CVS to 4.9 when it's RELEASEd, if you want to help bug hunt, grab BETA. I always build with the latest RELEASE as I put stability ahead of being on the bleeding edge.

Can't get cvsup to work behind NAT
[ I'm not subscribed to this list yet, so please Cc: me on replies if you can. ] Hi folks, This is my first time installing and running FreeBSD, so I decided I'd give it a shot in VMware first so I could be free to do stupid things. Anyway, I have the system installed now, got some ports and all, and wanted to check out RELENG_4_8 from a cvsup mirror to bring the system up to date, but it just won't work. Sometimes it gets stuck updating src/UPDATING (to be sure, I erased it, and it manages to download it again), but that's as far as it goes. cvsup(1) says that if I can reach the server's port 5999, I'm good to go.

SOLVED RE: Mirroring another machine w/ cvsup
Hi, I have 2 FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p7 machines side-by-side on a home network, curly and larry. I want to mirror some directories from curly to larry with cvsup as an exercise and as a backup. The directories on curly I want to mirror are: /root, /seeds, and /etc. I have those working perfectly, now I want to add /usr/local/etc. I created the directory /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc on curly. I created /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc/etc.cvs and /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr/local/etc/releases. etc.cvs contains the lines: Upgrade usr/local/etc Rsymlink * Releases contains the line: Usr/local/etc list=etc.cvs prefix=/ When I start cvsupd -b /usr/local/etc/cvsup -C 1 -l /dev/stdout, I get: # Listen failed: Port in use I checked the handbook section on cvsup, may have missed the answer, but no joy. Can anyone point me to my error? I have some further info... 'Listen failed: Port in use' is no longer an issue, I changed the cvsupd command to: # cvsupd -l /dev/stdout Which makes it serve 1 client and then exit. The issue now is that I cannot update /usr/local/etc. After re-reading man cvsupd, I have done the following on curly: # rm -dr /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/usr # cd /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup # mkdir local # cd local # echo local list=local prefix=/usr/local/etc releases # echo upgrade local local.cvs # echo rsymlink * local.cvs And on larry, I edited my /etc/mirror-supfile to include: *default base=/disk2 *default release=local Local Now cvsupd runs successfully on curly, *but* it shows: 0Kin+0Kout local/local And no files are transferred from curly /usr/local/etc to larry /disk2/ What am I doing wrong? I finally got it! I changed the 'releases' file: Local list=local.cvs prefix=/usr Now it copies everything in curly /usr/local/ to larry /disk2/local/ After I think about it, even though that's more than I wanted (/usr/local/etc), it's good to backup everything there, so I'm satisfied. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried installing mod_php4 but before hand installed apache+ssl and so then mod_php4 doesn't even see that apache is already installed and then fetches the version it wants thus blowing out the apache+ssl and I have to then reinstall that package to get ssl and apache. If I do things with /stand/sysinstall it errors out on a dependency if it is already installed instead of ignoring the fact that it is already there and errors out. This particular behavour started around 4.8 or so. Maybe earlier but I don't seem to recall exactly when this started to happen. I tried using the portupgrade stuffs but that just seems to make things worse overall. Anybody got any hints as to why it seems ports is having these sorts of problems? I don't have any idea what you problem is; however, there is an ongoing discussion on -current with people having port problems. What I remember is that the freeze has them locked and they can't patch the ports to build and install on -current until the port freeze is over. You might be caught by this problem or something entirely different. Kent M, could be.

You said that other network filesystems are not an option, but then neither FTP or SSH (assuming you meant FTP tunnelled through SSH) are networking filesystems either. The two popular implemtations of network filesystems are NFS (Unix) and SMB (Unix via Samba, Windows). You should take a close look at those since you will get much better performance and security with them than by grafting an FTP directory to your filesystem. If you need this in order to do your job and don't have administrator access to the remote machine(s), then petition your system administrator to look into NFS or SMB. C.

Yeah, that's all expected behaviour.. 1) when upgrading ports you have to upgrade ports in the correct order, i.e. if X depends on Y then you have to update Y before you update X. sysinstall doesn't do this, ports will at least notice that you have tried to install a new version of Y on top of an old version or have tried to update X when you should have first updated Y. The easiest way to update ports in the correct order is to use the portupgrade port. 2) packages depend explicitly on other packages, in particular if you have apache-X installed and it's looking for apache-Y then it will try to install it, and won't be satisfied by the apache-X installation.

When I boot and look at the output of dmesg I note the following: rl0: D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100BaseTX port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xee00-0xeeff irq 11 at device 6.0 pci1 Heh. That's a Realtek card. Any ideas on whether I can get the on-board NIC to work? Well, the first thing to do is to look at the output from ifconfig and pciconf -vl.

Re: mount an ftp or ssh filesystem
i'd like to mount remote ftp and ssh dirs into my local dir-tree, however This would be really really nice wouldnt it, I looked into it and didnt find anything at all. One day I may learn how to code it and do it myself. (I dont know enough about how write devices to do it yet).

problems writing to smbfs mount
Greetings, I finally got smbfs to mount a Samba share to a specific directory at boot time (without prompting for the password) via /etc/fstab. However, I still have a problem. I can read all files and directories just fine. My permissions are correct. But whenever I try to write to the share, the write fails and an error is returned, no such file or directory. If I try to replace a file on the share that already exists I get permission denied. Windows XP has no problem reading, writing, or otherwise accessing the share, which is why I'm posting it here instead of to a Samba list. Nothing particularly helpful showed up in a google or rambler search. Perhaps a more detailed explanation is in order. The remote server is Samba 3.0.0rc4. The local machine is FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. Samba is using the following smb.conf (which I realize isn't very secure, it's just for testing at the moment): [global] netbios name = POWERFACE workgroup = EILNET security = share log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.samba socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes [smbshare] path = /nfs/share guest ok = yes writeable = yes I then added a user with smbpasswd named eil. Now on the FreeBSD machine, I made sure to enable the correct options in the kernel config file and rebuilt whatever needed rebuilding followed by a reboot. I created the following /root/.nsmbrc so that FreeBSD could mount the share at runtime without it prompting for a password. [default] nbns=192.168.0.3 workgroup=EILNET [powerface:eil:smbshare] addr=192.168.0.3 password=pass Next I added the line for /etc/fstab: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/smbshare /home/eil/share smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 Finally, I took smbfs.sh.sample and copied it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smbfs.sh and rebooted. FreeBSD mounts the share in the proper location automatically and I can read every file and directory. But when I try to copy, move, or otherwise write a file to the share I get: [apex:~]$ cp .profile share/ cp: share/.profile: No such file or directory And when I try to copy or otherwise write to a file that already exists on the share, I get a different error: [apex:~]$ cp share/code/tcl/dbtest.tcl temp/ [apex:~]$ cp temp/dbtest.tcl share/code/tcl/ cp: share/code/tcl/dbtest.tcl: Permission denied Anybody have any enlightening advice?

install issues
Hello, I've installed FreeBSD enough times, but have never had anything like this happen before. I searched the mailing list archives and couldn't find anything of use there either ... I was wondering if anyone has had any similar issues ... I've tested this with a storebought 4.2 version disk, and burned ISOs of 4.1, 4.3, and 4.8. Each time I attempt the install I run into the same problem: System boots up, begins reading the CD ROM and takes me to the kernel configuration screen. I can select either of the options, but when it goes to the sysinstall screen I get a brief flash of sysinstall and 1 of 2 things happen: most of the time the system reboots itself displaying no error messages or 2 rarely the system will stay at sysinstall, and after flashing the screen for a second displays a distorted image of sysinstall under which all I can see is basically a grey background with blue bars on it. I can move the selection around, but if I select something the system reboots. The system is running on a p3 733 mhz processor with 384M SDRAM on a 133 Bus. Motherboard is a Intel D815EGEW that is brand new. Has 2 IBM 80G hard drives and a Netgear network card ... that's about it ... I've tried using a different (beside the built-in) video card and had the same problem. I tried disabling one of the hard disks and had the same problem, and also tried disabling the CD ROM device (it is very old) just in case ... but run into the same problem every time. The same thing happens even when using boot diskettes. Anyone have any idea why this would happen? I've tried everything I can think of and am stumped! Could it be the motherboard? Its an Intel ...

Upgrading HD difficulties
I have been trying for some time to upgrade the HD in my FreeBSD 4.8 laptop, attempting many different things but all with no success. I don't have a separate enclosure for it, and it being a laptop I can only put in one drive at a time. My basic plan has been to back up the current HD to another computer, install the new HD, boot from the Mini CD, use the Fixit shell on the CD to mount the new HD, mount the other computer over NFS, and transfer everything into the newly mounted directory. Originally I tried with dump, but I kept getting loads of errors, so I switched to tar. I made one tarfile of /usr (which is relatively large), and one of everything else. For example: # mount_nfs 192.168.1.2:/OtherComputerHD /mnt2 # newfs /dev/ad0s1 # mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt # cd /mnt # tar xf /mnt2/original.tar # tar xf /mnt2/original-usr.tar (I actually had to install mount and tar onto the NFS filesystem and run them from there; I'm not showing that here.) I then rebooted, from the new HD this time, rather than the CD, and things started to work OK. But eventually I ran into filesystem problems--sync problems, or other things, and I had to run fsck -y manually to fix them. But though this did clean the filesystem, the stuff that was there wasn't what I had untar'd into place--it seemed to be a bare minimun copy of the OS. This has repeated more than once. I obviously don't know what I'm doing, but would be very grateful for any suggestions for how to get this new HD in. I want it to be exactly the same as the existing one, but with more room; I'm not trying to do anything fancy or switch anything around. Especially by this point I'm willing to do anything to get things working again, as I really need my computer back! Thanks for any ideas.

It isn't fstab then, but accomplishes the same thing, plus it won't crash your boot process if the smb share is unavailable when you boot. On Thursday 25 September 2003 08:17 pm, C.

I can read all files and directories just fine. My permissions are correct. But whenever I try to write to the share, the write fails and an error is returned, no such file or directory. If I try to replace a file on the share that already exists I get permission denied. Windows XP has no problem reading, writing, or otherwise accessing the share, which is why I'm posting it here instead of to a Samba list. Nothing particularly helpful showed up in a google or rambler search. Perhaps a more detailed explanation is in order. The remote server is Samba 3.0.0rc4. The local machine is FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. Samba is using the following smb.conf (which I realize isn't very secure, it's just for testing at the moment): [global] netbios name = POWERFACE workgroup = EILNET security = share log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.samba socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes [smbshare] path = /nfs/share guest ok = yes writeable = yes I then added a user with smbpasswd named eil. Now on the FreeBSD machine, I made sure to enable the correct options in the kernel config file and rebuilt whatever needed rebuilding followed by a reboot. I created the following /root/.nsmbrc so that FreeBSD could mount the share at runtime without it prompting for a password. [default] nbns=192.168.0.3 workgroup=EILNET [powerface:eil:smbshare] addr=192.168.0.3 password=pass Next I added the line for /etc/fstab: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/smbshare /home/eil/share smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 Finally, I took smbfs.sh.sample and copied it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smbfs.sh and rebooted. FreeBSD mounts the share in the proper location automatically and I can read every file and directory. But when I try to copy, move, or otherwise write a file to the share I get: [apex:~]$ cp .profile share/ cp: share/.profile: No such file or directory And when I try to copy or otherwise write to a file that already exists on the share, I get a different error: [apex:~]$ cp share/code/tcl/dbtest.tcl temp/ [apex:~]$ cp temp/dbtest.tcl share/code/tcl/ cp: share/code/tcl/dbtest.tcl: Permission denied Anybody have any enlightening advice?

Re: Java on FreeBSD
I actually got 1.4 to build a while ago, I'm not sure if it does now. Bear in mind though, 1.4 is considered alpha AFAIK. I couldn't get my java stuff to execute properly, so I'm back on the linux-sun version :( On Thursday 25 September 2003 09:07 pm, Dragoncrest wrote: Maybe it's the wrong way to get Java on a FreeBSD system? Or, even more likely, I did something stupid. I can't build it either (on 5.1), but I'm getting different symptoms. Actually, the only one I've gotten to build, install, and run correctly is the 1.3 version. I have yet to get 1.4 to even build. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
